Of all the films I did so far…. Because everything is perfect and I know deep inside myself that I was outstanding and lots of people acknowledge that fact. Actually, before I even started acting Ali Nuhu is my favourite actor, and still today I prefer him to anyone. I enjoy working with all of them. If one could critically analyse my performance on that role in Dakin Amarya would understand there is a woman inside that character that get wild when her man is showing slightest interest in another woman.
Well, what I noticed is that, some directors always say Atete is more fitting at playing villain roles or someone very fashionable. But I was in love with someone withing the industry. Sani Real love. Why not? I can marry an actor or a film maker. We are doing the same job and as you can see right now on a shoot, the male and female actors have different apartments right?
There are people outside the industry that are doing bad things. Yes I can marry someone withing the industry. Wallahi no body now. I do have good friends, colleagues but none is my boyfriend. You may hear rumours that I am dating this director or that producer, none is true. No, I love acting. I would like to say a big thanks to my fans. Alhamdulillah I have a lot of them. I really appreciate the way they love us. Whoever is close to me knows me to be cool tempered but naturally jealous.
Follow Kannywoodscene on twitter kannywoodscene. This is because his movies are vividly and movingly expressive that they become popular among kannywood followers so much so that a movie directed by Aminu Saira is a must watch. The man has the best interest of the industry in his heart. KS: We would like to know who is Aminu Saira. And now I ventured in to movie Industry. There and then I started thinking why our film makers are not showing the teaching of our great religion Islam and the beauty of our tradition Hausa?
From there we kept on the move with friends, we ventured into the industry through Sarauniya Film Production headed by Auwal Sabo and Aminu Sabo, through them I gained a lot of experience on the business and how to be successful as well. Aminu Saira: I have no interest in acting, I only have interest in creating something that will be a challenge or competitive in nature.
For instance, I created something and somebody created another thing different or better than mine or vice-versa and let it be like that continuously. At the same time I have the interest of promoting my religion, customs and tradition of Hausa, so I consider it as my best area of interest.
How did you achieve this victory? Alkali, Ali Gumzak, Nasir M. Gwangwazo, Umar UK and my myself, to mention but few. The movies of that time were just a collection of too many actors; they sing and danced without conveying any message.
This always hurt us as team. Therefore, we decided to form a group and called ourselves G-TOP at that time we were growing rapidly all of a sudden the Hiyana saga pop up, everyone withdrawn and everything shattered. I said to my colleagues if we give-up the fight the whole kannywood industry would collapse, despite all the lost we recorded we G-TOP reinvest with the little money we have, yet we encountered another problem with the state censorship board and the state government.
We were harassed, insulted and terrorised. But now the business is back again, better than ever before. Aminu Saira: Actually we can say there are a lot of differences, we can understand through social network and media on how people are commenting on our movies and you can understand how possessive people are by our movies. And our Nollywood counterparts want us to merge and work together on some projects like what we did in Karangiya and during the promo of Dan MarayanZaki one of the film makers of Nollywood saw it and shown his interest to market and distribute it.
This is a clear indication that Kannywood is reaching its target and is a great achievement. For your counterpart to wish to join you and work together it means you attained some level. If you are looking for a film industry that captured audience in West Africa is Kannywood, we have great men who promised to help us improve our movies, some are professors, doctors, chiefs and many more. You see if people like these would sit and watch our movies, is a sign of great achievement. To explain it even in brief would take a long time.
It really needs a lot of explanation because movie making is a course of study itself in Universities or Polytechnics. For instance there are critical films which are not purposely for commercial, or a festival movies and sort of. In short if a person want to be a film maker firstly let him find a good producer.
Aminu Saira: The work of a director is like fleshing a skeleton script and bringing it back to life. The challenges of a director are the script he would work on, the producer, as well as the artistes. From the beginning, the director, the scriptwriter and the producer are to work together, but at the end they will drop the scriptwriter, then the work will continue between the director and the producer, they share ideas on whom to cast, who should be the D. P, production and set designers etc.
When the shooting ended, then the film is taking to the studio and after it has been edited then the director became part of the audience. The only person who is more involved than the director is the producer, because producer is working from script to market, although the director is responsible for making a film to be good or otherwise.
Aminu Saira: Should be director, because he knows who can play the type of character he wants. You can understand, it is a team work. Aminu Saira: The main challenge that we are facing now is the issue of piracy. Our dream is to make the standard of our movies to be like that of Hollywood or Bollywood and if you look at three years back, we technically improved, if you watched our movies you can see the sound pictures, the artistes performances and the quality of the movies.
In fact if we have enough capital, we will be competing with the big movie industries in the world, because we have all it takes. We start the business with less than a hundred thousand and now we are dealing with more than fifty million naira.
We alone cannot fight piracy, because it is a law only government can fight it. Now, we are not lacking capital or technical facilities, our main problems are the issue of piracy, this is our greatest challenge. You know if Kannywood collapse it will backfire on the government, because we have more than two million people working under this very industry, if they lose their jobs they would be a liability to the government, but if government help and invest the beneficiaries will double to about five million people employed.
And lastly I would like to call the attention of government to reconsider this piracy law in this time of constitution amendments, because piracy can even drag the economy backward. KS- Now that people believed you are the best director in Kannywood what do you want to achieve after that in the future?
Aminu Saira — if to say I am among the best directors I will agree with you. In terms of directing I think I had achieved my dream, my dream is fulfilled, and that is to have a sizeable audience that are following me, markets to be waiting for my movies and whenever people see me they can identify me, you see through this way one can instil whatever kind of message he wants to these people.
But if you ask me what is my dream on Kannywood or what I want Kannywood to become in the future? That is my biggest dream in the world. That is why I am calling on everybody who got talent to please come and join us. Government, elites, scholars should please help us. If you look at the world now the reigning aspect of life currently is entertainment.
Like football, movies and music. With all these you can see movie making is above all other forms of entertainment. If a lot of effort would be vested on film making a lot of success would be recorded for the society. In fact someone talked to me, he called my name, when I asked him how did he knew that I am Aminu Saira? He said he watched my movies so he knew me through my work as a director. You see these are the kind of people that can stay for hours stairing at Ali Nihu, Sani Danja, Nafisa Abdullahi or any other actor.
You see through film making if we like we can advocate our religion more than you can ever imagine. Therefore I call on all our Islamic scholars to give us a helping hand in promoting our religion before other people hijack it from us, let us purify it and make it presentable, we alone cannot do it but with you Islamic Scholars we can make it.
My fear is, there would come a time when this very industry Kannywood will grow bigger than you can ever imagine, that time if we are not careful other foreigners would be in control and at the end of the day they would destroy our cultural values and religion. Therefore, is our greatest challenge to stand up and work together for a better future.
Aminu saira: My only advice is no matter what and no matter how, have ambitions, be focus toward your dream. We GTOP as a case study, we struggle, fluctuated and face a lot of challenges before reaching where we are now.

Kabiru Nakwango is one actor with true Islamic values, and never fails to back his reason of doing things with Islamic teachings. Filmography: The incredibly versatile actor developed interest in acting after watching Kasimu Yaro, Kuliya Alkali and the rest. The highly charismatic actor stepped into the entertainment industry as a teenager with Fuskar Arewa Drama Group in the year , before it dissolved in the year For the steady pursuit of his acting dreams, the actor joined Dankada Drama Association in the year , before it was disorganized by the quest for politics to reign in the second republic in the year And as a step forward, the actor founded his group Dabo Films Association in the year , a film organisation that is responsible for producing some of the best stage drama around the northern part of the country.
Nakwango has been a prolific producer and director with Dabo Films but was yet to feature on the screen until late , on the shots of Sone ko Kauna, Nakwango keep having problem with the lead character, and as a result, he keep changing the lead actor until the crew suggested he takes up the role, which he reluctantly accepted.
The restrained way in which he tackled his role in Sone ko Kauna was a real treat, which leads to the success of the film. Sone ko Kauna became the first Hausa Movie that featured Nakwango in the markets, before the film there were Zakaran da Allah ya nufa, Hakorin da yayi dariya and Jan artabu but all these were yet to see the light of the market.
